You can cancel your evac, there is a huge CANCEL button in the middle of the screen, I guess you were so stressed out and focused on the marine being dragged you missed it
If you block the whole route of xenos with fire they will push through it and lit up. You can use the flamer to direct the xenos on wanted paths with the fire, like if you are in a junction when onslaught hits and they would have multiple paths to you, you can shut some of them down with fire. That sabotage event probably came because you saved Drake, who was pretty much a cultist. Whoops. Also, RIP beardo.
I hope he noticed that the xenos that made it into that final room at the tail end of the infinite onslaught had like 3/4 of their health gone JUST from running through the fire before being finished off by his marines.
@@GrimReaper415 I executed everyone and it still happened. So either it's bugged, the sabotage is caused by something else, or maybe it just affects how bad the sabotage will be, I can't remember how bad mine was.
Wait just a gosh darn second here ... Did he actually ... consider leaving some Ammo behind so his next run can stock up instead of having his A Team run around with more Ammo then he could ever realistically use? Who are you and what did you do to Chris? xD
All this episode has taught me, is even when odd makes the right decision (to evac) he still pushes his luck to the absolute limits... the only solice is he might learn his lesson, at the cost of Beardo
Several egg clusters: use flamethrower to silently kill them one by one without triggering hunts. And be very careful with doors that are shut an can be opened: Ask yourself if you want it open. In your example one of the 2 exits to the ARC ( I prefer the northern one) would sufice. But you created a flanking route for the xenos on your team without need.
Another way against eggs is setup sentry guns near them and lure the eggs out with the drone. keep the drone making noise and pied piper them into the waiting guns with no detection. works on sleeping Xenos also
I mean, to be fair he made the right decision. He just didn't realize that by waiting around he couldn't dive into the ARC instantly and he was vulnerable while trying to load - a lesson he verbalized.
17:57 Man! you did that to yourself, overconfidence is an insidious killer. You were about to leave and decided to wait a bit and play with the Praetorian in the middle of a hunt. It sent its friends to play too 🤣
Only thing Id mention is to use reprimand if you have an excess in cp! Really helps during those hunts where youre safe and waiting for it to end! Im loving the lets play so far! Its great seeing the aspects that others struggle with. Reminds me of all of my failures 😂
I love watching this but it can be so incredibly frustrating at times too. Odd doesn't keep tabs on the motion scanner all the time, misses a lot of items / rooms etc and makes weird tactical choices. 🤨
Like blowing up eggs and starting a hunt *before* thinking about another route? Yeah. From Atmospheric Nightmare on the game punishes you hard for these mistakes, I can't wait to watch...
Haha exactly. I know my comment can sound like easy backseat gaming and under no pressure (which is true lol) but at the same time any other streamer and/or youtuber I'd have already stopped watching. In a sense imo it's a compliment
There was a button to cancel evac. You just didn't press it, plus it was a last-second event. Still though, that should demonstrate why it's a bad idea to attempt an evac during a hunt.
if you put the sub mashingun on the person with the smart gun. he still have decent firepower when putting down his smargun. Ohh and looking for hidden aliens, use the grenade luncher as it highlight them.
Want to evac securely? No, just a bit more greed, trigger a "hard" hunt, run around and evac while under attack. Somewhat funny, reminds me on alien 2, but no Sigourney Weaver to save the day. That has its special appeal.😁
20:45 " I kinda wish you could cancel the ARC extraction", yeah that was totally an option right in the middle of the screen as your other 3 guys ran screaming into the ARC.
It's a bug with the eggs. When you make noise with the drone while in line of sight of eggs, they launch a hunt and know exactly where your marines are. Should have been fixed by now, but no guarantees, I guess.
Mybe u can use motion tracker as distraction when your uscm are in way to get caught or spotted, try put the motion tracker near the arc to reduce the alien around your marine and minimalist a lot of ammo to be used of
This level was insane…. is insane…. I’m about to complete it. I’ve really enjoyed watching you work. You do great in half time. Your use of flame walls is inspirational moving forward, lol. I had to pull out of this level twice…. and then when I got the upgrade it forced me out a third time…. I’m on my fourth run and about to hit the second level. I’m confident with 5 marines…. But damn I wipe a lot. I’m not nearly as careful as you with the 50% time stuff. I just wanna Final Fantasy this stuff and its not optimal, lol. Anyhow…. as a guy who has suffered and suffers on this level still? An evil part of me laughed out loud when you lost your marine on the extract earlier…. I suffered for so long here and was waiting for you to wipe or extract, and when you finally make it through all the stuff that killed me “oh so quick” (I had a tool and went through the centre, hardcore.). You just flame walled and hop scotched turrets… And nailed it…. and then, just when you’re like “yeah…. this is too hot to handle, gotta go” the level finally makes you pay like it made so many of us pay… Hahahaha. “Marine down!!!”. Bwahahahahahahhaha What’s that German word for taking pleasure in watching others suffer? Haha…. Look it up. Community had an episode dedicated to it. Absolutely lovely stuff. Great show sir. I’ve learned a lot and have enjoyed the journey with you.
Hi there, I have a suggestion to deal with those roaming xenmorphs and xenomorphs from respawn spots, that is using landmine. the landmine can be rapidly depolyed and one shot most xeno (except bosses). placing mines near respawning spots and hallway crossroads (especially inside building) and wait for the boom, the explosion will not trigger the hunted status. once the enemy is dead you can move freely for short period of time. hope this help.
RIP Beardo. You were a great soldier and to be lost in the confusion of a high pressure evacuation is a terrible, terrible loss. You won't be forgotten. Semper Fi, marine.... Now let's go kill some more bugs for the profit and pleasure of our corporate overlords! :D (sarcasm)
Imo for eggs lay down a wall of fire and let them run through it, and the snipers value is always high it's guaranteed kills which is important for keeping acid off the squad and armor high.
"What's the best way to kill eggs?" You haven't seen an Alien film for a while eh, Odd? Fire! (I haven't played this game, but I presume the facehuggers will get easily toasted when they pop up out too)
Hey Odd. Your indecision cost you a high level squad member. Next time make a decision and just leave instead of umm and arrring for 5 mins while you squad gains more stress and you become overwhelmed with aliens again. You would not have had that Pretorian if you had left immediately 😁
SMG is much better then the Revolver as it shoots 2 shots every 0.6 seconds instead of 1 every 1.0 second. It also have much larger magazine so doesn't need to reload as often.
-- I'm only halfway through, but I'm sure you know by now, if you pressed on 50 feet, you would have kept Beardo and, well, you know the rest. That's gotta burn brother.
You really are missing a lot of tips and information in the UI. A lot of it is highlighted and repeated several times. You could have saved Beardo very easily by pressing the large cancel button.
While there was a big "Cancel" button in the middle of the screen, I gotta say I would have missed it too, most likely. Also, when you go into a high difficulty area, the game pauses and warns you. Maybe a future QoL update will pause and ask if you are sure you want to leave behind a wounded, but still living soldier?
I dont understand the hesitation in waiting a few seconds before evacuating in the APC... you made the decision, why not follow through... hesitation breeds death
I think people overrate the pouches... Like, sure, you can hold a few more I guess, but there are still a limited amount on the map, and they go pretty quickly. Id rather have a more meaningful upgrade in that slot.
I mean technically the whole squad should already be dead. I think it was 1 or two missions ago, he got them wiped out and clearly reloaded the game. Kind of defeats the purpose of perma-death if you just reload every time you lose a marine.
I think for later games the armor is better... armor is more important as health requires medical recovery and armor doesn't.. meaning your guys, with the never tired and the auto trauma healing attributes, will never need to stay out of a deployment
You can cancel your evac, there is a huge CANCEL button in the middle of the screen, I guess you were so stressed out and focused on the marine being dragged you missed it
Adrenaline is a helluva drug
gosh i already jawdrop and almost shout there is a big cancel button.....

That sabotage event probably came because you saved Drake, who was pretty much a cultist. Whoops.
Also, RIP beardo.
Cerberus Protocol is in effect. Execute all survivors. Contain the outbreak. Weyland-Yutani, a brighter future starts today.
The event is bugged. I executed Drake and the event still happened.
I hope he noticed that the xenos that made it into that final room at the tail end of the infinite onslaught had like 3/4 of their health gone JUST from running through the fire before being finished off by his marines.

stress level increases watching Chris do the decisions
All this episode has taught me, is even when odd makes the right decision (to evac) he still pushes his luck to the absolute limits... the only solice is he might learn his lesson, at the cost of Beardo
Odd: "I don't think he can get in here."
That's what they said about the velociraptors...
Also pouches will let you carry more tools as well as med packs. You could really use that

Use fire to kill eggs like in the movie.
YO THAT EXTRACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GETTING Dragged from the ARC hahaaha
Y’know, Christopher, you always push your luck…
He really can't help himself. LOL
@@grss1982 🤣👍❤️
I mean, to be fair he made the right decision. He just didn't realize that by waiting around he couldn't dive into the ARC instantly and he was vulnerable while trying to load - a lesson he verbalized.
Everytime he says Coffee I think of Michael Biehn's Lt. Coffey character from The Abyss!
You can cancel your evac. There's a pretty big button right in the middle of the screen while you're evacing.
17:57 Man! you did that to yourself, overconfidence is an insidious killer. You were about to leave and decided to wait a bit and play with the Praetorian in the middle of a hunt. It sent its friends to play too 🤣
Literally what I was thinking. People talk about the cancel button but that one was even more infuriating than the button
when they have the red stress, their audible call outs are different. They get jumpy and call things out that are not there.
That's really cool!
I love watching Odd for the excitement and the added stress lol.
"I think he blacked out"
2 seconds later: "watch that stress squad!'
I love the cat when it's about.
Only thing Id mention is to use reprimand if you have an excess in cp! Really helps during those hunts where youre safe and waiting for it to end! Im loving the lets play so far! Its great seeing the aspects that others struggle with. Reminds me of all of my failures 😂
Smart Gun as a sentry gun is better because you can pick it up even if it’s broken without having to repair it first
INFINITE ONSLAUGHT !!!!
"Let's turret up!"
The way the guy yells "GRENADE!" is so satisfying
You lesson caused Beardo's life, you bastard!
That sabatogue event for rescuing the cultist was honestly not that bad.
Leave turrets by the APC and fully load them before leaving so you save more of the ammo picked up during a deployment.
How does that save any ammo?
Because he usually finds more ammo than he can carry. @@john_titor1
when u make call..go for it..dont hesitate!
So, greed kills. Keep that in mind for the future.
You KILLED ME ODD!
18:09 that was ruff. Two things went wrong. First you waited to see if it would come out. Then you should have hit the cancel button on the evac.
I love watching this but it can be so incredibly frustrating at times too. Odd doesn't keep tabs on the motion scanner all the time, misses a lot of items / rooms etc and makes weird tactical choices. 🤨

@@Aceje88 This run reminded me of the beginning of Alien 2 and has its own entertainment value.
I think he's too busy thinking of what to say to keep us entertained and watching, so he doesn't take time to read the map properly.
@@dragani2330they were stressed out like Odd here too lol

It's aliens not alien 2😮

Yeah! Therapy cat is back!! 21:38
19:00 Sigh, that was inevitable with you pushing it like that.

I used fire to clear the eggs. And facehuggers

Also he had triggered an onslaught while he was inside the building. Once he came out, the hordes found him.
Super intense. I love it!
Ah my dude, you knew you should have evac'd earlier, poor beardo
WOW. Can't believe it ignored you 16:30
Beardo died because of your indecisiveness.
you were on slow and you just had to press the CANCEL EVAC button, but you panicked
I don't know on harder difficulties but if you use fire you can kill eggs no problem
why you not use mines this game ??
Really sleeping on the Pheromones +10% detection time
Oh that 2nd stage was hard before i got the lights back on had to back out in the apc when i found it

6:00 what a MEME ep lol
Do you have any plan to play Xenonauts 2 in the early access that coming?
Love this ❤❤
poor Beardo
Yo! Diggs jumped from Miasma Chronicles to Aliens? LOL
I would love to see you tackle baldurs gate 3 when the game fully releases!!!

I dont understand the hesitation in waiting a few seconds before evacuating in the APC... you made the decision, why not follow through... hesitation breeds death
Cancel button right in middle of screen 😂
12:39 - Could lay down a wall of fire, suppressive fire and then blow the eggs, that way the triggered facehuggers just die instantly.
Or he could have gone to the left and bypassed the eggs and the sleeping drone completely. There was another path that he didn't even check.
Its probably to late now, but you REALY should have bought some pouches upgrades earlier, you would have had much more tools and medikits.
I think people overrate the pouches... Like, sure, you can hold a few more I guess, but there are still a limited amount on the map, and they go pretty quickly. Id rather have a more meaningful upgrade in that slot.
Nice!!!...
Beardo 😔🕊️
Eh, Beardo was kind of the weak link in that squad. Not a huge loss, I'd say. ;)
The price for dilly dalling. Totally unnecessary loss.
evac when safe
Rip Beardo, this is journalist level gaming right there 😢
20:38 WTH There is literally a button in the middle of your screen have you never noticed that before????????????????????????????????????????
Just keep moving
I hated this mission. Especially with the dumb finding 3 survivors i couldnt find the third guy.
you got cheated with beardo, reload!!
Nah, he hesitated with the extraction and got greedy. It's a feature, not a bug. You can get attacked as long as you're not in the ARC
Yournmissing rooms odd. Could be supplies and objectives there
Lol yes
there's literally CANCEL button in the middle of the screen.
Beardo 😂
prolly armor over health, once your armor is gone the acid burst protection doesent work. also enduring esentially doubles your health.
I mean technically the whole squad should already be dead. I think it was 1 or two missions ago, he got them wiped out and clearly reloaded the game. Kind of defeats the purpose of perma-death if you just reload every time you lose a marine.
I think for later games the armor is better... armor is more important as health requires medical recovery and armor doesn't.. meaning your guys, with the never tired and the auto trauma healing attributes, will never need to stay out of a deployment
I'm on episode 12 and loving it, is it me or are the eyes of Hays yellow or is she an android?
Kinda glad he lost one for the all the dumb plays hes been making lol, satisfying
Nice play-through but leave off with the A.I. art. For God's sake, it doesn't match the video!
you are just too old to play real time game dude, simply clicking cancel evac could do it
